strategies in accessing prior knowledge, pre-teaching vocabulary, use of visuals/realia, study guides, graphic organizers, and differentiating the language of classroom presentations and reading materials. Students are organized according to their English Language proficiency level and given appropriate English Language Development (ELD) instruction along with native English speakers. As part of MSA-1’s monitoring program, the CELDT examination is administered annually to students who are identified as English Language Learners. MSA-1 monitors students’ CELDT, State Assessment, and MAP results along with teacher recommendations to monitor student progress towards successful reclassification. MSA strives to reclassify EL students expeditiously but appropriately, and has established a school-wide literacy enrichment program to support the use of academic vocabulary across content areas for all students.

During weekly professional development meetings that include all stakeholders at the school and within the Magnolia Educational and Research Foundation (the organization), discussion takes place around reviewing data and student work,

as well as monitoring student achievement across all grade levels and sub-groups. Our principal, Chief Academic Officer, EL Coordinator, Department Chairs, and teachers review CELDT results and closely monitor these students during weekly development meetings, and daily via CoolSIS (our SIS system) in order to provide additional academic supports, assess academic progress in all subjects, and assess students for reclassification. Our CoolSIS system is accessible to school staff, students, and parents, and is updated daily. During summer professional development training, the entire school staff reviews student achievement data, including state assessment data, CELDT, benchmark assessments, and other diagnostic assessments. The staff disaggregates data by sub-group, grade level, and subject. The goal is to provide all stakeholders with the information needed to guide instruction, professional development training, and academic supports for students in the upcoming school year. In addition, MSA-1 reviews all data to assess if the school has met the annual measurable objectives and sets goals for raising student achievement along with developing an academic plan in order to reach those goals.

EL’s participating in SEI and MEC programs are expected to meet ELD standards for their respective proficiency levels each year, and to increase by one level per year. SEI students who achieve reasonable fluency and proficiency in English will advance to MEC. SEI and MEC students are expected to meet or exceed common core state grade-level standards in the core subject areas as they meet or approach the Early Advanced level of English proficiency. EL’s who reach the CELDT Early Advanced (EA) or Advanced English proficiency levels, and are at or near grade level in core subject areas, will be reclassified to Reclassified Fluent English Proficient (RFEP). MSA-1 is committed to providing language-learning opportunities that build on each student’s strengths, and recognizing home language and culture as valued resources that are key tools in achieving academic success. MSA-1 recognizes that academic knowledge transfers across languages and provides access to grade level core curriculum.

At MSA-1, parents of EL students are notified of their child’s prior CELDT results (if available) within 30 days of the beginning of each school year. In addition, parents are informed of the following assessment results:

Language Assessment Results: CELDT

• SBAC Assessment

• Student Academic Status

MSA-1 provides parents with an explanation on why the student has been identified as an English Language Learner (LEP) as well as a description of their child’s placement, and the EL Instructional Program Options and support services. The CELDT is administered during the first 4 weeks of the school year, based on the responses provided in the Home Language Survey. Students who enter MSA-1 with CELDT scores in the beginning, early intermediate, or low intermediate proficiency levels (1-2), with a limited number of school enrollment years will be placed in an English Language Development Class. Limited English Proficient (LEP) students have access to a multitude of additional intervention and support programs. Our goal is to accelerate their English language proficiency to facilitate their successful transition to mainstream English classes.

English Learners are provided with access to every intervention program available to students at MSA-1 with a heavy focus on ensuring they have access to supports through the use of:

1) Academic language, the deliberate teaching of academic vocabulary throughout the curriculum to increase reading comprehension and access to higher level texts;

2) Saturday Tutoring, is an opportunity for students to take part in two hour academic enrichment classes in core subjects on Saturday mornings;

3) Daily after-school tutoring 4) The language cohort model, whereby English

learners in Mainstream English Classes (MEC) are grouped by language proficiency level, as identified by their CELDT score, within their general education classroom. This allows the teacher to target language objectives tied to language development standards within the English content standards.

Instruction is provided by an ELD teacher with advanced training in research-based strategies to assist students in increasing their English proficiency while learning academic subjects taught in English.
